‘A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life’. You might have heard this quote before. Most times when women decide to chop their hair off, it’s accompanied by a shift in their lives. At other times, they may just be looking to revamp their style. Whatever the reason, it’s important to consider some things before shaving.
Face Shape
You want to work with your facial features, not against them. Choose which features you love the most and go with a style that makes them stand out. Let your stylist know this so they can pick a hairdo that works best for you.
Go To A Chop Expert
Not all stylists are good at all hairstyles. It’s better to work with one who is an expert at haircuts than a general stylist. Online searches should help you find those in your area. Customer reviews reveal a lot about service providers, so look out for that as well. If you spot a lady with a cut you like, ask her who her stylist is.
Regular Visits
Maintaining short hair needs regular visits to the salon, probably more frequent than for longer hair. If your hair grows faster than average, the salon might as well be your second home. That’s why choosing a competent stylist is important. Consider whether you have enough time in your schedule for these touch-up visits.
Show, Don’t Tell
It’s much easier to show the stylist a photo of the result you desire, than to tell them verbally. If you can get pics of the same style of different people, the better. This helps both of you see how the style would look on you before getting the chop.
Maintaining the Style
Some styles look great in photos and in the salon, but how much maintenance work is required is another matter. Discuss with your stylist to settle on a style that’s compatible with your lifestyle.
